Sunshine & Whiskey - Frankie Ballard

We pick up in New YorkExplain City Try to find a man I never got to be But when I push down on the pavement I found the whole thing so much harder than it seemed The only deal I ever signed No devil drew a dotted line The stage was set, the words were mine I'm not complainin' Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Wake up, shake it off, and repeat It's just a phase, it's not forever It's just a phase, but I still might have a ways to go Every night around this time My friends and I retreated like a race When I really start to break it down I wouldn't trust a girl who knew about this place Barkin' on with no one left Speak softly underneath my breath "Hey world, you ain't seen nothin' left" Great, now it's rainin' Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Wake up, shake it off, and repeat It's just a phase, it's not forever It's just a phase, but I still might have a ways to go Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Dream somebody missed me Wake up, shake it off, and repeat And repeat and repeat after me Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Cut me off and pour me in the street Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep

If you could see my mind If you really look deep in me Then you'll find That somewhere there will be a place Hidden behind my comedian face You will find somewhere there's a house And inside that house there's a room Locked in the room in the corner you see A voice is waiting for me to set it free I got the key, I got the key Voices, I hear voices In my head the voice is waiting Waiting for me to set it free I locked it inside my imagination But I'm the one who's got the combination Some people didn't like what the voice did say So I took the voice and I locked it away I got the key, I got the key Voices, I hear voices Voices, I hear voices Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Voices, I hear voices Voices, I hear voices Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Voices, voices, voices, voices Don't look back Voices, voices Don't look back, look straight ahead Don't turn away, then the voice it said Don't look back, yesterday's gone Don't turn away, you can take it on Don't look back, look straight ahead (voices) Don't turn away, then the voice it said (voices) Don't look back, yesterday's gone (voices) Don't turn away, you can take it on (voices)

Me and the boys, we played every frat house and dive We rocked the Razorbacks, the Vols, and the Crimson Tide We were down and destined when she walked up to the stage Dropped a note in the tip jar, blew a kiss and walked away I counted two 200 dollars, one request for the Grateful Dead A couple bottle caps, a business card, and a perfume note that said I love hurricanes and long-necks, and guitars cranked up on ten Waking up with the sunset, and hanging here at the Hog's Breath Lighters raised up in the smoke rings, the sunburn on some new ink I'm hearing Drift Away while you sing, and kissing beneath the stars Man, you'll find all kind of things in a tip jar I held her that summer, living on borrowed time 'Cause once September comes, everybody says goodbye Now it's the last show and here she comes to the stage Dropped a snapshot in the tip jar, blew a kiss and walked away I counted 500 dollars, one request for the Grateful Dead And a picture of her with those long tan legs, and on the back it said I love hurricanes and long-necks, and guitars cranked up on ten Waking up with you at sunset, and hanging here at the Hog's Breath Lighters raised up in the smoke rings, the sunburn on some new ink I'm hearing Drift Away while you sing, baby, take care of my heart Man, you'll find all kind of things in a tip jar I see lighters raised in the smoke rings, and sunburn on some new ink I'm playing Drift Away but I can't sing, as she slips off into the dark Man, you'll find all kind of things in a tip jar Yeah, you'll find all kind of things in a tip jar
